Torrance split an inheritance between two investments, one paying 7% and the other paying 10%. He invested twice as much at 10% as at 7%. The combined annual income from two investments was $4050. How much did Torrance inherit?

Shit like this:Torrance split an inheritance between two investments, one paying 7% and the other paying 10%. He invested twice as much at 10% as at 7%. The combined annual income from two investments was $4050. How much did Torrance inherit?or this:A man invests some money at 5% per year and some at 8% per year. If the amount invested at 8% is three times that at 5% and his total annual income is $580, find the two investments. Damn if it's not enuff that I hate percentages and shit like that. Now I hate word problems too. And I still need to take 2 more harder math classes after this one. If I don't understand this shit how in da fuck am i gonna take the other 2 math classes.

How much did Torrance inherit?i'll help with the first one and then see if you can do the other one on your own... i'll just break it down into steps so you can see how i came up with the answer...(1) understand what you are looking for.(2) assign variables and understand what those variables stand for. we'll use x and y say that x stands for an amount of money and y stands for the amount of money inherited.y=inheritancex=the inheritance that was split up(3) set up equations...the inheritance was split up two ways... one investment was twice as much as the other...y=2x+x --> y=3xTorrance split an inheritance between two investments, one paying 7% and the other paying 10%. He invested twice as much at 10% as at 7%. The combined annual income from two investments was $4050...2(.1x)+.07x=4050(4) solve the equations...2(.1x)+.07x=4050 ... multiply the 2 and the .1 x.2x+.07x=4050 ... add the two x's together.27x=4050 ... divide both sides of the equation by .27x=15000 ... now go back and plug x into the first equationy=3(15000) ... mutiplyy=45000the teacher might want you to write the answer out in a complete sentence or something...Torance inherited $45,000.(5) reread the problem and make sure you answered the question(6) check your answer
OMG! I can't believe you're doing that in your free time!
